Eaton SPC120240N8P Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: SPC120240N8P
Quick Summary
Surge Protection Device SPC120240N8P protects electrical systems in commercial and industrial power circuits. Outages and equipment damage from transients can disrupt production and raise maintenance costs. UL 1449 certified, NEMA 4X enclosure, and a 10-year warranty support compliance, weather resilience, and long-term reliability. This SPC model integrates filtering with an alarm and Form C relay, delivering immediate visibility and fast action. In practice, engineers rely on external-side mounting for simple retrofit and scalable protection across panels. Its 240V single-phase rating aligns with common industrial feeders, while a 120 kAIC interrupt rating helps withstand high-energy surges. For procurement teams, the 10-year warranty and UL 1449 certification translate into predictable maintenance budgets and faster risk mitigation.

FAQs
For installations in industrial settings, mount the SPC120240N8P on external-side surfaces within protected or exposed panels rated for NEMA 4X. Its corrosion-resistant enclosure is suitable for wet or dusty environments, and the compact footprint facilitates retrofits in existing switchgear. Plan for proper clearance for heat dissipation and easy access to the alarm relay.
The device delivers 120 kAIC interrupt rating with a 240V single-phase configuration, providing strong transient diversion for high-energy events. Integrated filtering reduces EMI and noise, improving signal integrity for PLCs and sensors. Together, these features protect sensitive drives and instrumentation while minimizing nuisance trips.
Yes. The SPC120240N8P uses an NEMA 4X enclosure designed for harsh or outdoor environments, offering protection against corrosion, splashing water, and dust. This makes it suitable for exterior panels, washdown areas, and exposed electrical rooms where reliability is critical.
UL 1449 certification confirms compliance with safety standards for surge protection devices, while the NEMA 4X enclosure supports installation in challenging environments. The 10-year warranty reduces lifecycle costs and mitigates replacement risk, contributing to a faster return on investment and predictable maintenance budgeting.
Expected ROI comes from reduced unplanned downtime, minimized equipment damage from transient events, and lower maintenance costs due to extended asset life. The integrated alarm relay enables proactive maintenance, and the durable enclosure supports long service life in demanding industrial settings. For procurement, the combination of UL 1449 certification and a 10-year warranty adds financial predictability.
